If you want to donate to Haiti...

There are many appropriate channels to donate to the relief of the millions of earthquake victims in Haiti, but we would like to share one of our favorite charities and present it as an option to donate if you are planning to. ONE DROP is a foundation which concerns itself with the preservation of clean water and with helping impoverished and undeveloped nations have access to clean water. They have announced that they will be teaming up with another organization, Oxfam-Québec:

"...to assist in the reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts that will be taking place during the next few months in Haiti. In May, ONE DROP will set up a project to enable the population of the capital’s neighbouring zones to have access to water. Needless to say, the affected populations’ access to water is already a major issue.

Concerning all the work to be done during the emergency-response stage, ONE DROP has the utmost confidence in Oxfam-Québec, its main partner for projects in developing countries. Oxfam-Québec has been active in Haiti for many years now and is a member of the Humanitarian Coalition, a network of Canadian non-governmental organizations that have chosen to unite their efforts to respond in the best way possible to humanitarian crises."
